39 weeks and 2 days

I am frustrated with my doctor. I suppose I shouldn't be, but I am. She basically said there's no way I will be induced with this pregnancy. (She's a fam. doc. and would have to get approval from an OB for an induction, which she says she knows the answer would be "no!"). Because they know I can push out a 10 lb. baby, there is no reason to induce. (Even though I have been induced for all of my pregnancies, and because they were getting too big!) I have never gone into labor on my own without pitocin. This may be a first. But she also said I'm at the lowest risk for a c-section. My blood pressure is great. And urine. Baby's heart beat is fine. My belly is measuring 41 cm (I measured 42 right before Sierra came.), and luckily, my cervix has begun to dilate...currently at 1cm. The doc did try to "strip my membranes," but I doubt that will have much if any affect on speeding up the process. She did that 3 times with my previous one, and it did diddley-squat. I guess each pregnancy is different, so I can still hope. According to the ultrasound done back in Feb., my baby was due two days ago. So he has my permission to come anytime now. My parents will be arriving on Monday, yea! It'll be great to have them here. And we have others who have offered to watch kids when the time comes, so we should be set. I finally packed my hospital bag...we have a few names in mind for the boy...we'll see! And if he hasn't arrived by next Thursday, I'll get to see a different doctor because mine will be out of town!
